#3 Marcus Rashford (Manchester United)

Marcus Rashford

Marcus Rashford, one of the best young players in the Premier League, is taking a well-deserved break after playing through injury and pain for much of last season.

Rashford will not be available during the beginning of the 2021-22 Premier League season, as he is recuperating from a shoulder surgery. The England international has been Manchester United's star forward for some time now, with his directness and technical ability causing havoc among opposition defenders.

Thank you for all the well wishes. I had my surgery on Friday morning and everything went very well. A little sore but other than that I’m feeling good. Hope you’re all having a great day! ♥️ pic.twitter.com/cUZQpS0wIi

#2 Timo Werner (Chelsea)

Romelu Lukaku's big-money arrival increases the scrutiny on Timo Werner, who endured a mixed debut campaign with Chelsea last season.

Werner joined Chelsea last summer after an excellent season with RB Leipzig for a fee of nearly £48 million. A versatile forward, the German is renowned for his pace, and has been nicknamed 'Turbo Timo' due to the same.

Werner made 52 appearances in all competitions for Chelsea last season, scoring 12 goals and providing 15 assists. He was heavily criticised for missing scoring chances, but managed to produce decent numbers. But more will be expected from the 25-year-old this campaign in the Premier League.

#1 Adama Traore (Wolverhampton Wanderers)

Adama Traore

A highly-rated talent ever since his Barcelona days, Adama Traore, with his unique skill set, has found a home in the Premier League.

Traore is arguably the best dribbler in the Premier League. A physically imposing player, the 25-year old joined Wolverhampton Wanderers from Middlesbrough in 2018 for £18 million. While he has been criticised for his inconsistent displays, Traore's world-class dribbling ability, combined with his speed, have often proved to be game changers.

The Spain international has made 132 appearances in all competitions for Wolves, scoring ten goals and providing 18 assists. Chelsea and Liverpool have been linked with the forward.
